• Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
• Lower temperature to 225 degrees and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• (Cook until the center no longer looks wet or shiny) Run a knife around the inside edge of the cheesecake pan.

• You could also add strawberries to the berry mixture-- make sure not to exceed 2 cups of fruit in all. I have also made this cake with just one of the above listed berries.

BLUEBERRY-RASPBERRY MUFFINS WITH STREUSEL TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
• To make the topping, in a medium bowl, mix together the topping ingredients until crumbly. Set aside.
• In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
• In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the melted butter. Add the buttermilk and lemon zest and whisk to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir just to combine. (Batter will still be somewhat lumpy; do not overmix.) Gently fold in the blueberries and raspberries so the berries do not break open and pour into the prepared muffin tin. Crumble the streusel topping over the muffins and bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
• Let cool in the tins for 10 minutes, then remove and cool on wire racks.

RASPBERRY AND BLUEBERRY VANILLA CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Make crust:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Finely grind ground cookies, nuts and sugar in processor. Add butter and vanilla; process until moist crumbs form. Press onto bottom and up sides of 9-inch-diameter springform pan with 2 3/4-inch-high sides. Wrap outside of pan with foil. Bake until crust is light golden, about 15 minutes. Cool. Maintain oven temperature.
• Make filling:
• Scrape seeds from vanilla beans into heavy small saucepan; add beans. Add cream and bring to boil. Cool completely. Discard beans.
• Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar in large bowl until smooth. Add vanilla-cream mixture, sour cream and vanilla extract and beat until well blended. Beat in eggs 1 at a time.
• Gently mix 1 basket raspberries, 1 basket blueberries and cornstarch in medium bowl. Pour 2/3 of filling into crust. Sprinkle berry mixture over. Pour remaining filling over berries to cover. Bake until cake is golden and begins to crack around edges but still moves slightly in center when pan is shaken, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes (cake will fall).
• Make topping:
• Mix sour cream, sugar and vanilla in small bowl to blend.
• Gently press down any raised edges of cake. Spoon topping evenly over cake. Bake 10 minutes. Cool cake on rack. Refrigerate overnight. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
• Melt jam in small saucepan over low heat. Brush some jam over top of cake. Arrange remaining berries atop cake. Gently brush berries with remaining jam. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Keep chilled.)
• Run small sharp knife around pan sides to loosen cake. Remove pan sides. Place cake on platter. Serve cold.
